gEDA-user: PCB manual routing

[Tuck Hartshorn <tuck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm new to PCB and attempting to do some manual routes to a small two layer 
board where I have a DIP20 and a bunch of SMD's. I want all routing to the 
DIP to be on the solder side, since I will not have plated-thru vias--just a 
homemade board.
So, I the autorouter prefers the component side and I dont see where to change 
this. (Side 1 is the three solder-side layers, 2 is the top side layers).
When I manual route, I cannot complete the connection to the DIP, the mouse 
stops just short of the pin, as if there is a shield or blockage. 
If I go ahead and autoroute, I cant force it  to the backside with the "b" 
command the way I can with a component.
The PCB manual has very little on this kind of usage.
Any help would be appreciated.

(btw, DJ, I saw a much earlier post where u where interested in sources for 
thin FR-4. Is that still the case?)
